Inside the Black Lagoon... Revy sat down while angrily grinding her teeth. She had been rejected by Dutch and Benny to try and ransom Rock, causing her to lash out.
"Tch! Stupid dumbass. Doing a job like this for only 20 grand. Couldn't we use his to get a couple more grand?" Revy muttered more to herself than anyone else as she looked at the wall.
Rock sat on top of the Black Lagoon. Smoking while Dutch sat next to him. Rock listened to his words with a smirk.
"We are going to dock in a Thai port. We do the drop-off in a bar there. From then, it's a matter of how long your luck lasts." Dutch got up and entered the ship through a door.
Rock released a loud sigh, smoke flowing out before it made a ring in front of Rock. Rock smirked before he looked up at the sky.
"Your job. It's kind of interesting." Rock said before Dutch could go inside. Dutch looked at Rock in surprise before noticing that Rock had an excited face.
'Looks like he likes this kind of life... How unfortunate.' Dutch thought as he closed the latch fully.
[Ding!]
[Acting levelled up!]
[Acting Lv. 12 (Control facial expression, voice and sweat glands)]
His acting skill levelled up like crazy, almost reaching the max level already. He could control his facial muscles, voice and even sweat glands if he wanted to sweat.
"This system... It's perfect," Rock muttered as he watched the ocean waves. He took another puff of his cigarette without worrying about its effects.
[Ding!]
[Toxins detected! Terminating!]
His body can't be injured by anything toxic. Smoke, poison and more. Even lemon juice won't harm him by deteriorating his teeth. Anything toxic will not work on him.
Rock watched the sky as the boat arrived at the port in half an hour. Rock got up as Dutch and Revy came out from the latch. They motioned him to follow, and they reached the bar.
"I'll have a Bacardi!" Rock ordered from the bartender with a smile. Revy and Benny looked at him in surprise while Dutch went to get a call.
"Wow. Didn't know you little Japanese like drinking~" Revy teased as she took a swig from her own Bacardi. Rock turned to her with a smirk.
"Well, what can I say. Guess you will have lots to learn from me." Revy grinned as she heard that. Rock suddenly saw the door to the bar get kicked open.
Knowing what happened, he acted first. He lunged at a surprised Revy and threw her over the bar. Benny was next as he threw him over. Finally, Rock himself jumped behind it.
"Here's a little gift!" The leader of the hit squad sent by Asahi Industries said with a smirk as he threw a grenade inside the room. Rock put his palm on his ears as it exploded.
Boom!
The windows shattered, and a shockwave blew the tables and chairs into pieces as the squad stepped into the bar.
"Give me that!" Rock took one Gun out of Revy's hand, and she growled at his actions. Jumping up, Rock pointed at the leader, and he pulled the trigger.
He was not gonna wait for him to start blasting the place with guns. The leader watched with wide eyes as the bullet lodged itself into his throat, killing him.
Splatter*
Revy and Benny looked at Rock with shock while the remaining hit squad opened fire on Rock. Quickly, he hid back behind the bar, a smirk on his face as his blood boiled.
"Good job, Rock! Revy, make us a pathway!" Revy smirked as she snatched her cutlass back from Rock's hand. She jumped up and fired two shots, hitting two soldiers.
Bang!
Bang!
Bnag!
Bullets flew over the place as Revy ran around, jumping all over the place while shooting the soldiers. Dutch, Benny and Rock took the opportunity to escape the bar, with Revy following.
Rock jumped into the back of the car like flying and laughed as Revy followed him. Dutch and Benny quickly started the car as Revy threw out two grenades.
The grenades exploded, blowing the two cars following to pieces. Rock looked out and let out a whistle as he watched.
"Man. I like you guys more and more!" Rock turned around and chuckled as he stared ahead. Dutch and Benny looked at each other with an amused look.
Revy looked at Rock, and she noticed a bottle of Bacardi was in his hands. She tried to snatch it from him, but he smirked as he evaded.
"No, no no~ This Bacardi is mine. If you want a sip, say please!"
"Give it to me!" Revy growled in anger as she tried to snatch it. With his superior eye coordination speed and reaction time. Dodged like she was an annoying child.
"Nah" Rock teased. Revy sneered before stopping herself. The car reached the port, and the four got on Black Lagoon. Dutch started the ship, and they sailed off from the coast.
"Alright, everyone. Next, we are going to Palawan. The drop-off location, as you can see, has changed." Dutch said as they headed to Palawan. Rock grinned as he looked ahead.
"What the hell was that?! I thought your ass was just a salaryman?" Revy asked with a bewildered grin. She looked at Rock and took his Bacardi while Rocvk was distracted.
"You looked like you were experienced back in that Bar," Dutch said as he adjusted the glasses on his face. Rock smirked as he took a cigarette out and lit it with his brand-new lighter.
"I wasn't really experienced. I have a good intuition for when things go wrong." Rock explained as Dutch and Benny looked at each other with surprised eyes.
"Well, whatever it was. I owe you one for what you did back there." Dutch said as he looked at his radio. They had just passed the Thai navy. They should reach the Palawan coast at dawn.
The Black Lagoon arrived at the Palawan Coast at dawn. Everyone got off the boat and walked towards the coast, where a car was. Standing next to the vehicle was Kageyama.
"Looks like business is finished. Good work, Dutch" Rock looked towards the voice and saw a woman dressed in a burgundy-coloured suit. She had a massive scar on the right side of her face.
Still, she did not have an ugly face. The scar just made her look even more enchanting to Rock.
"Yeah. It was thanks to Rock over here," Dutch said with a smirk as he pointed to Rock. Balalaika smiled as she watched Rock. She noticed the way he stood, and she was surprised.
He looked like an experienced fighter.
"Rock? A pleasure to meet you~" Balalaika muttered as her cigarette burned hotter that day.
